intention deficit
[Part 1]
[Intro]
I had a feeling it was cracking and swallowing me whole from the start
(This town ain't big enough for both of us)
(You're so much better than me)
And maybe after all this time, I was destined to play the favorite part
(Is it something you don't want me to see?)
But if I found it lying on the cold hard ground, would you know what to do?
Or run around it and sell it for a lukewarm welcome with nothing to prove
[Verse 1]
But I guess it's my fault (And I guess it's my fault)
And I guess I'm not the type to wanna walk this off
When it's always your call (But it's always your call)
Could you ever really put it to the side?
With the offers flowing in
You got your chance, you got your win
It must be nice to be yourself
Inside thе corner that you're in
[Chorus]
And I could nevеr wrap my head around
Why you're always so uptight when I come around
You don't really seem to get it when you're staring down
The barrel of the gun that you can't live without
Just cut me out
[Verse 2]
And I hope you find a reason (I hope you find a reason)
To take me this way when you don't know who I am
Maybe in another season (In another season)
I'll be better without this all, but for the time being
What's the meaning?
It's getting so overbearing with all the screaming
And I don't think I'll be the one that breaks the ceiling anytime soon (Oh-oh, oh)
[Chorus]
And I could never wrap my head around
The way it gets so exciting, then you shut it down
Remembering everything before the lights go out
And all of these evil faces open up their mouths
They're getting too loud
[Bridge]
Talk about this way of life
Like I'm someone you need to be afraid of
Cauterize our wasted time
Just let this die
[Chorus]
And I could never wrap my head around
How you keep yourself in check when it's crashing down
And we're losing our focus, succumbing to the doubts
That replayed inside our heads from the beginning out
But I finally get it now
[Transition]
You're in such a wonderful situation
Why shouldn't you try to improve it?
I can see the value of that, but
You— You don't understand the value of experience itself
You want to have everything
Alright, in other words, uh
Our conflict is that I want to limit this
And you want it to—
And I wanted it to have it go on and on and on and on
Yes
[Part 2]
[Intro]
Was I supposed to stop you?
(Some things never change, some things never change
Some things never change, some things never ch—)
Was I supposed to stop you?
(Some things never change, some things never change
Some things never change, some things never ch—)
[Verse]
When we're waist deep in the wrong places
(Some things never change, some things never change)
Could you break the bullet in my back?
(Some things never change, some things never ch—)
And take another shot at my ego
(Some things never change, some things never change)
While I just grip my chest and laugh
(Some things never change, some things never ch—)
[Segue]
And oh no, I must be such an egomaniac
(Some things never change, some things never change)
To blow your cover and make it up with a panic attack
(Some things never change, some things never ch—)
And oh well, I guess I never really knew the half
(Some things never change, some things never change)
Keep on reconciling the present just to fall on the past
(Some things never change, some things never ch—)
Well, maybe it's you
(Some things never change, some things never change)
Do as you say, but never as you do
(Some things never change, some things never ch—)
The way you portray me hasn't ever been the truth
(Some things never change, some things never change)
But I've grown past a need to care, so why can't you?
(Some things never change, some things never change)
[Outro]
Some things never change
You make me split my gut in two
